CHITRAL: A taxi driver broke his own record of carrying 27 people in his alto car by accommodating 34 persons in the small vehicle but complains that his feat was never recognized at the official level.
Rehmat Wali of Chitral town told ChitralToday that he had made the record of carrying 27 people in his small car and later broke the record by accommodating 34 people in it.
He had done all this in the hope that his name could make an entry in the Guinness Book of Records. However, despite being reported in the media, he could not even get an award from the local administration.
He said he also made a record of driving his small car to the last point of the Gobor valley where only four wheelers could reach due to the uneven and hilly road.—S. Nazir Hussain Shah
